Fourth of July Menu

Today I’m sharing an easy, breezy, old school Fourth of July Menu. It’s fun, festive and fabulously delicious. Enjoy and let freedom ring!

The Frugal Decor: I found the cutest place mats in red, white and blue at Everything’s aDollar store! I also found star shaped ice cube trays – two for a dollar! The straws came from Hobby Lobby. The flowers are from Walmart. Helpful Hint: These particular flowers will stay fresh for a week!

1 can of biscuits (Hungry Jack or your choice - hence the name of this recipe)

Instructions

Brown ground beef and drain. Add pork and beans, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, and onion. Bring to a boil. Pour into casserole dish. Cut biscuits in half and place around sides of dish, on top of the ground beef mixture. Top with cheese. Bake in 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes or until biscuits are browned.

Boil potatoes in salted water until done. Be careful not to overcook. As soon as a fork can easily pierce the potato, it is done. Drain and place in a large bowl. Add all the other ingredients and mix with a large spoon. Salt and pepper to taste. Store in the fridge. Sprinkle with paprika and crumbled bacon before serving.

Mix sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan. Gradually stir in water until smooth. Add a cup of sliced strawberries and cook and stir over medium heat until thick and clear. Add a few drops of red food coloring, if so desired. Cool. Stir in remaining berries, saving ¼ cup for garnish. Pour into pie shell, chill until firm (about 3 hours). Top with whipped cream and remaining strawberries.
